Aspherical lens elements
Nikon has introduced the first photographic lens with aspherical lens 1968. What differentiates them? Aspherical lenses virtually eliminate the problem of coma and other types of lens aberration - even when used at maximum aperture. They are particularly useful for correcting the distortion in wide angle lenses. Furthermore, the use of aspherical lenses contributes to a lens smaller and lighter. Aspherical lenses are precision ground the most beautiful expression of Lens-craft, strict production standards are extremely high. Hybrid lenses are made of a special plastic molded glass optics. Aspherical glass lenses are manufactured by cast molding a unique type of optical glass with a special metal die technique.

Internal focusing
Imagine being able to focus a lens without changing its size. Nikon If technology allows just that. All internal optical movement is limited within the non-extension lens barrel. This allows a more compact, lightweight construction and a distance of focus closer. Addition, a smaller and lighter focusing lens is used to ensure a more rapid development. If the system is also in most Nikkor telephoto and selected Nikkor zoom.

A distance information
Type D and G-type Nikkor lenses relay subject to the information from the remote camera to AF Nikon camera bodies. This then makes possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash. Note: Type D and G-type Nikkor lenses provide distance information for the following cameras: Auto exposure, F6, F5, F100, F90X, F80, F75, F70, F65, F60, F55, F50, Pronea S Pronea 600th , D2 series, D1 series, D100 and D70s/D70. Flash control, F6, F5, F100, F90X, F80, F75, F70, D2 series, D1 series, D100 and D70s/D70.

Silent Wave Motor
Nikon AF-S technology is yet another reason professional photographers like Nikkor telephoto lenses. AF-S Nikkor Nikon SWM function which converts "traveling waves" into rotational energy to focus on the optics. This enables automatic focusing at high speed, which is extremely accurate and super quiet.

I made the right decision. At f/1.4 it is soft, but at f2.0 the image is clear enough. Saturation, and more importantly, good color is very natural, that will not make Photoshop as contrast ratio, very good. Not very Shart at F2.0, but the color and contrast to make beautiful pictures. ISO200 Set and 1/40th shutter speed, I can take pictures without flash at f2.0. Wide also means that you can 'shoot in about 4 ~ 5 feet away so you can have eye contact with your children or babies. Do not worry, do not search / slow. E 'precious to me.

Initially I thought it would be a target in as I have a 24-70L. But now I think that is also a great outdoor portrait / landscape lens. It captures excellent detail and color of a gray area and takes very good pictures, even with backlighting. After a trip with this objective, I decided to use 24-70L for the interior light only shoot in the studio (with flexible zoom / frame).

This is not an anti-flare great interpreter, but better still slower than the others. Bokeh is very good, with no signs of distraction at all. It may not be as beautiful as a 135/2L but much better than I expected.

It is expensive, but it is a first L. I can not say which is better than great, but if you need a quick goal, with good color saturation and wide open, wide and always with beautiful bokeh. This is one for you. It also provides the details in shadows and no sign of washing. Needless to say, the control PVP. If you have money, I recommend this.

Body used: Canon Rebel.
The lenses used: 18-55mm, 24-70L, 50/1.8II, 85/1.8, 135/2L.

Weaknesses:
Expensive. Costs up to a 16-35L, 24-70L or 70-200/2.8L.
Back focus of 0.5 f / 1.4 inches but Boday Rebel/300D I can live with it.
Anti-flare is not the best.

Strengths
F2 FAST with very usable.
DOV very superficial.
Beautiful bokeh.
Very good color saturation and good contrast, even open.
A good shadow detail with good color / contrast (good for backlighting).
Beautiful color L.
Fast focus speed as expected from a lens with a ring USM.
Build quality.

I was only 18-35mm yesterday and used it today for the real estate industry. I bought used for $ 200, if there is no chance that I'm sorry. I use a Nikon D700 FX if you really great. The lens is strong enough, even in the corners,

but you will notice that they are less marked especially wide open. Build quality is poor and feels more like a zoom in cheap plastic from Nikon. If you're a haptic is not so good, but if you want something light for the weight is great. Manage my glass with care, if it is plastic or metal, so I do not really afraid.

I use a Hoya UV filter that does not cause vignetting / dark corners. The only problem is that this goal have a lot of distortion at 18-24mm. I tried the Nikon 20-35mm, before almost no distortion, but not as a range, it costs more, weighs more and is not so marked. So this is probably the best compromise if you do not want to spend money on a 17-35mm or 14-24mm.


The images that I shot with this objective have characterized superb contrast are very sharp and made of beautiful colors. Not only do not like much of this goal. I give it 4 stars for overall performance, but 5 stars for value and price / performance. Some objectives that run constantly and all work together and become guardians. This is one of them.

I bought this goal, because I wanted a lens, the choice for internal use good speed on my 50D. I also have the f / 1.4 EF 50 millimeters I love, but inside I find it less useful because of the crops under probe 50D.

I knew I wanted something in the range of wide angle (thanks to the camera frame 1.6 crop), so I looked at the EF 28 millimeters f/1.8 USM and EF 35mm f/2.0. Based on the reviews on sites like Amazon and elsewhere, I decided to go with 35 millimeters to 28 millimeters because f/2.0 seems to have consistently negative reviews. I was also able to collect 35 millimeters for about $ 130 less than 28 millimeters so that seemed to be a better investment.

I now had the 35 millimeters for about 1 month and took over 300 photos on my camera. Overall I'm satisfied with the goal and was on my camera almost all the time that I owned. Images are crisp and color is good. This is an easy target and you can get some great bokeh when you open the scale that is nice when you want to be creative with your photos.

However, I am quite frustrated with the autofocus with this objective. Does not seem to want to focus on the issue of context, many images are off-topic, if I let the camera do all the work. If left to itself, many times that goal is to produce images that are at issue, or is not what you wanted in point.

The only way I can get great pictures that this lens is capable of when I take control of the points of focus and select exactly what I want to focus for each shot. It is not too difficult, and I'm used to it, because I'm usually the desired auto focus point selection for each shot, but this goal seems unusually difficult to concentrate on the desired object on his own.

It 'was a big disappointment, because unfortunately I know that when someone else (who is not familiar with how to use the camera), which collects 50/50, if the picture is revealed, especially in low light.

I think it's a problem if you are looking for that goal to be good throughout the interior of choice for candid shots and family, especially if you want to be in some photos.

This is a good goal if you're familiar with how to use the functions of selective autofocus on the camera. The picture quality is good, like the 50mm f/1.4, and certainly better than any lens kit that you can have, but do not expect to put this lens on the camera and they never really learn to use the camera.

Light, fast, strong and, as I'm concerned the perfect focal length.

I started using primes 50 millimeters, but soon tired of how close they were at home. All my plans are still head / shoulder shots, and forget trying to get two or three people in the shooting and had not been raised in a strict "All Together Now" shot. What becomes real old, fast.

Let me stress that:
The lens has a much wider at normal shooting distances (the distance that normally come from the subject).

What is often overlooked, but believe me, backing up 15 feet in a crowd or a house to get vaccinated is tedious and often impossible. It is generally easier to move in a bit '(or crop the photo later) than it is to maintain the support, in particular by looking through the viewfinder. I realize that this is not entirely fair rate as strong as other targets of different quality, based solely on their focal length, but it is my opinion that this goal is by far the most useful in many situations.

I also used to be set on large openings, but have since realized that maximize the real world is not below f / 2 anyway. This objective is stronger than everything that exists and is great in low light conditions. Yes, I understand that f / 2 is not good in low light Super Like other targets there (I know because I have a 50 millimeters f/1.2) but is good enough for most of the fire, and below f / 2 depth of field becomes difficult however, so new, no longer useful.

Finally, some people do not like the plasticy feel of new goals, but I love them. Are lighter and silky. I've seen quite heavy, rubbery, Thatcher-up, metallic glasses, my time to know that there's nothing magical about any metal manufactured either. So for me it's just another modern improvement that works like a charm.

Most I've seen tend to sell online for over 90% of full market value, so even if it somehow does not like the risk and trying to buy is very low.
